Approximately $600 million in funding was provided by Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. The remaining allocations came from assorted state and federal transportation accounts. In total, about $13.8 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been distributed statewide.

“Proposition 1B continues to fund key transportation projects, which translates into a strengthened economy,” said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. “Investing in our infrastructure will improve mobility and create a better future for Californians.”

Some of the notable local projects that received funding include:

San Joaquin County: $123,700,000 – Widen State Route 99 from four to six lanes, and improve and reconstruct various interchanges, from just north of Arch Road to just south of State Route 4 near Stockton.
